This makes it totally perfect for embedded applications like Set-top-boxes or Routers or why not game consoles right?

Hello,
Ros VGA driver does not work anymore in my real hardware configuration.
I'd like to know if the problem is confirmed by somebody else.
To reproduce it , disable the VBE drives in Hiveinst.inf file , make
registry and reboot.
The green Reactos logo displayed at boot is not displayed correctly (
color is red/yellow etc , the logo is not clearly displayed )
Here are the debug messages (DBG=1)

This is a suggestion:
Can ReactOS implement an OpenLDAP backend to the ReactOS website.
There are many benefits to implementing OpenLDAP into the reactos.com
website. First, reactos.com can use this software to authenticate
users in certain modules of the website such as future forums, wikis
(via publishing), and possible later implementation into a mass-
mailing system like squirrelmail or mailman, suggestions, hint hint,
or perhaps in the future an instant messenger engine. Also OpenLDAP
would be able to provide back-end website developers to verify status
of community members.
How is that for a baby step to implementing someone's ideas...

I was looking through the installer, and noticed that it generated an
error for partitions created by linux fdisk. Shouldn't the user be
informed about this, so they know why. This type of information will
help a user solve the problem that caused the error.
Below is the code for the error I'm talking about.
if (WarnLinuxPartitions == TRUE &&
CheckForLinuxFdiskPartitions (PartitionList) == TRUE)
{
PopupError ("Setup found that at least one harddisk contains an
incompatible\n"
"partition table that can not be handled properly!\n"
"\n"
"Creating or deleting partitions can destroy the partiton
table.\n"
"\n"
" \x07 Press F3 to quit Setup."
" \x07 Press ENTER to continue.",
"F3= Quit ENTER = Continue");
while (TRUE)
{
ConInKey (Ir);
if ((Ir->Event.KeyEvent.uChar.AsciiChar == 0x00) &&
(Ir->Event.KeyEvent.wVirtualKeyCode == VK_F3)) /* F3 */
{
return QUIT_PAGE;
}
else if (Ir->Event.KeyEvent.wVirtualKeyCode == VK_RETURN) /* ENTER */
{
WarnLinuxPartitions = FALSE;
return SELECT_PARTITION_PAGE;
}
}
}
Since I heard of reactos, i have always considered it one day
replacing my Windows 2000 and XP boxes. Because ReactOS was going to
be an open-source alternative to the Windows NT API I felt that it
had and has serious potential to hinder or greatly replace Microsoft
Windows. I have suggested several ideas both through IRC (freenode)
and email messages how the computing world does things. I understand
that ReactOS is still in pre-production, and planning for the next
release is greatly important to the community development and testing
of the operating system, however I fail to grasp the concept behind
the hindrance of ideas being passed the the development community.
Some development plans I have talked about were:
1 - A 64 bit journaling file system with a SQL-like back-end.
Lookout WinFS; there that plan went down the drain.
2 - Implementing an instant messenger server for developers and
users to talk on, realtime, without IRC.
Maybe not quite MSN Messenger, but why not? iChat even
uses .mac.
3 - Implementing an OpenLDAP back-end to the website.
Active Directory has nothing on you... Plan knocked out again.
i would rather stick with something close minded like closed source
software than having no ideas be recognized at all.
I only suggest things like this because Microsoft will always be
releasing newer software that will leave reactos in the dust if they
not heed the advice of all, not just me, their developers, testers,
and users.
Why not; right? why envision something and it fail to be realized,
waste of time if i ever knew it...

thanks that show me the way ;) the problem is
my keyboard is usb one so i plug an ps2 one and
now all work :)
maybe a little more debug on the setup will help to
others to figure this :) more easy
thanks :)

thanks, now i can install the system and now i configure the
grub but i have another question the file bootsect.ros, wath has to say?
i made my freeldr.ini like this:
[ReactOS]
BootType=ReactOS
SystemPath=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(7)\reactos
Options=/DEBUGPORT=SCREEN
but the bootsect.ros i didnt find a example :)
thanks for the help
hi,
i have a problem with the installation from
setup to a real hd the setup dies with this
message:
allowconsolo() failed (status = 0x0000001)
well, my question is:
the installation procedure is only the copy
of the reactos directory to the hd?
Sorry to ask to the DevelList but in the
users list no one answer me :)
thanks
